Yu Garden, Shanghai's premier tourist destination, is back to life. It's not as much as before Corona, but there are more people than I expected. It is expected to be very crowded during the upcoming National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays (October 1-8). The revival of tourist destinations throughout China is accelerating. Please see the video for details.

Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Paradise has been extended.
Pedestrian paradise is growing to the Bund, but tremendous people are coming even on weekdays. The details will be introduced in the Vlog video. https://youtu.be/nj2K3E…
[8 consecutive holidays of National Day & Mid-Autumn Festival]
unprecedented! The 2020 National Day holidays and the Mid-Autumn Festival holidays overlap. From October 1st to October 8th, there will be eight consecutive holidays nationwide.
As a measure to prevent the infection of the new corona, we regulate the movement of students and civil servants across provinces, but there is no regulation for the general public, so a large population flow is expected nationwide.
For the time being, there have been no new infections throughout China for a long time, and people who could not return to the Chinese New Year are finally able to return home, so the rush to return home and the travel boom are expected to resume.
I went to "Yu Garden" which is the best tourist destination in Shanghai. It's been a while since I was preparing for the online academy tour. I thought that there were few people due to the influence of the corona, but there are not as few people as I thought. I think that about 90% of tourists are returning. After that, it would be nice if tourists from overseas returned ...

I took a walk in a park in Shanghai. In the aging big city of Shanghai, a lot of energetic elderly people are gathering in the park. I participate in my favorite club activities. I envy you. We are planning to deliver the morning situation on an online tour in a park in Shanghai.

Shanghai has had a wonderful fall season. In the season when the blue sky is the most visible, we are steadily preparing for an online tour. Starting this weekend, we will hold a live online tour. First, I rehearsed an online tour from the TV tower area, a landmark of Shanghai. We look forward to your participation in the online tour.

On September 1st, a new school year began at Shanghai Middle School. About 1.5 million students went to school as scheduled.
[According to the news article of the following Eastern network]
A reporter from the Eastern Network visited World Elementary School in Yangpu-gu at 8 am. Outside the school gate, the children lined up, washed their hands, measured their body temperature, and then went into school. 785 children from all schools entered the school in about 30 minutes.
Son Peng, a 5th grader, told the interview, “I couldn't go to a lot of people during the two months of summer vacation because of the coronavirus, so I miss my school life. The school finally started today. It's fun to see my classmates again."
On the day of the return to school, many police officers in uniforms were placed at the entrance of the school to protect the children's safety, and they were carrying children in their bags to protect them. According to Shanghai Public Security, about 320,000 people including police, assistant police, and volunteers were dispatched today to ensure the safety of the children on the first day of the new semester start.
I took a flight from Shanghai to Beijing this weekend.
In-flight meal has been upgraded! As reported in the news, there was really "warm food". It isn't rice yet, it's noodle food, but it has evolved considerably from the cold foods centered around bread and sandwiches. I want you to return to your normal life with a little more patience.
Today is July 7th of the lunar calendar. It's Tanabata on Valentine's Day in China. There are lots of hot lovers in the town, shopping with a flower garden and going to the cinema.
Typhoon 8 will have an impact on Shanghai from tonight, but Shanghai residents feel that a typhoon should come soon. Or rather, the hot days above 35℃ have already continued for more than 20 days, but the rain and wind brought in by the typhoon are desirable.
It seems that people in big cities aren't so scared of natural disasters and welcome typhoons. (Lol)
This weekend, I boarded a domestic flight in China and went on a business trip. Surprisingly, the airport congestion is returning. Of course, it is limited to domestic flights.
One month has passed since the ban on group travel in China was lifted, but according to the information released in the official announcement, 95% of domestic flights have been resumed. Passenger boarding rates have risen to 82%.
In order to stimulate travel demand of Chinese airlines, we are selling an "all-you-can-pass" valid until the end of the year or until January next year. It is an unusual promotion that you can take any flight of the applicable airline by the deadline after purchasing the single pass. The "Weekend unlimited ride" has become the most popular product. Apparently, the airlines were able to recover their money from the passengers during the most difficult times, and escaped from the temporary financial crisis. Passengers with high flight demands were able to fly within the year at substantially lower prices.
The heat of Shanghai continues. For about two consecutive weeks, the maximum temperature almost every day has exceeded 35℃. Especially the humidity is high and it is hot and humid, so it feels even hotter.
It seems that the restaurants and downtown areas have already returned to their pre-corona state. I ate at a bullfrog specialty store today as a dinner for friends. All restaurant business regulations are gone. Business and food and drink are available as in front of the corona.
At the end of the summer vacation (July-August), each tourist resort is getting more and more crowded as the government gradually increases the number of people who can visit it. It is still mandatory to wear a mask in public places, but pedestrians on the street are no longer required if they can secure a social distance with others.
Schools will start after September, so it seems that tourist spots will be vacant.
By the way, the picture is the Shanghai TV Tower (East Pearl) in the evening.
